I like new guys. Makes me feel like an old timer. I've only been around for eight months myself. Lotta posts in a short time. That's what happens with us retired folks, got nothing better to do when we can't ride.

I admit Im a new forum member, but had a motorcycle everyday of my life since I was 4 years old. I just laugh at some of these guys that ask stupid *** questions. Dont get me wrong I havent had my current glide that long, and I may ask alot of mechanical or advise type stuff. but some of these guys are complete morons! What should i buy? what color? can I wear a patch? 1st bike any advise?,,,,,,, Yeah stay away from me on the road! oh yeah dont forget the ones that go to riding school. WTF? I feel If your 20yrs old and need classes to ride, buy a boat.

Good to know you're here. If I need advice on anything I'll be sure to look you up since you already know everything.

But if you have real questions I'd gladly answer any of them to the best of my ability.
